A raised platform
The list of participants for this third edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual is impressive. It includes top-notch esports professionals, but also and especially numerous professional drivers coming from different backgrounds (endurance, single-seaters…). The task will be tough for whoever emerges victorious after the 24 hours of racing, as exceptional drivers such as Romain Grosjean, Victor Martins, and Felipe Drugovich will be present. Traffic management will also be important in this race, where GT and prototype cars will compete on the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe.
A car he masters to perfection.
